The story of the first few weeks of the 2018-19 season was the Canucks’ high-powered offense, as the team regularly put up five goals and dominated opponents. That has changed over the last handful of games, as prior to their most recent win over the Nashville Predators, they had just five goals in the last four games. Whether this is blip or a sign of tougher roads ahead for the Canucks offence is the big question, but one way to mitigate the damage is to allow Nikolay Goldobin one more chance to prove himself.
It’s fair to be skeptical of Goldobin’s ability to be productive.
